Landratsamt Bamberg · Government · Germany
Medium risk. 6 critical or high findings in Security headers, GDPR outside view and 2 other checks.
The Landkreis Bamberg website serves as the official digital portal for the regional government authority in Bamberg, Germany. It provides comprehensive information and services related to local politics, administration, citizen services, cultural events, tourism, and economic development. The site targets residents, local businesses, and visitors, offering a broad range of public sector services including online appointment scheduling and access to administrative forms. The website is professionally designed with consistent branding and clear navigation, supporting German language primarily with Google Translate integration for other languages. Technically, the site is built on the ikiss CMS platform, utilizing legacy but stable JavaScript libraries such as jQuery 1.10.2 and UI components like Flexslider and Highslide. The site demonstrates moderate performance and good mobile optimization, though some accessibility features are basic. SEO practices are adequately implemented with proper meta tags and structured navigation. From a security perspective, the website uses HTTPS and implements a cookie consent mechanism aligned with GDPR requirements. However, it lacks explicit security headers and published security policies or incident response contacts. No vulnerability disclosure or security.txt files are present, indicating room for improvement in transparency and security maturity. The WHOIS data aligns with the website developer Advantic Systemhaus GmbH, supporting legitimacy though registrant details are minimal. Overall, the website is a trustworthy and professional government portal with good content quality and privacy compliance. Strategic enhancements in security policy publication, security headers, and incident response readiness would strengthen its security posture and user trust.
Scanned
NIS2 Art. 21(2)
This scan rated NIS2 with an earlier keyword method that is no longer shown; rescan for the per-article view. Risk management, continuity, supply chain, training, MFA, management oversight (Art. 20) and incident reporting (Art. 23) need internal evidence, and Guard cannot tell whether NIS2 applies to this organisation.
GDPR is indicative only, based on publicly visible signals: Articles 7, 12, 13 and 32 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and Article 5(3) of the ePrivacy Directive. Not a certification or legal assessment.
6 findings rated critical or high. Fix these first.
Security headers are instructions your web server sends to every visitor’s browser. Missing ones leave visitors more exposed to attacks such as clickjacking and injected scripts.
Controls resources the browser is allowed to load
What to do: Implement a Content-Security-Policy appropriate for your application
These are the privacy signals visitors and data protection authorities look for under GDPR.
GDPR requires explicit consent for non-essential cookies
What to do: Implement a cookie consent banner that appears on first visit
SPF, DKIM and DMARC stop others sending email that looks like it comes from your domain, a common route to phishing and invoice fraud.
SPF helps prevent email spoofing
What to do: Add SPF record: "v=spf1 include:_spf.yourmailprovider.com ~all"
DMARC provides email authentication and reporting
What to do: Add DMARC record: "v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:dmarc@yourdomain.com"
TLS encrypts the connection and proves the site is really yours. Weak or expiring certificates trigger browser warnings and put traffic at risk.
Server supports weak protocols: TLSv1.1
What to do: Disable TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, and all SSL versions
SSL certificate uses 384-bit key, which is considered weak
What to do: Use at least 2048-bit RSA or 256-bit ECC key

Each check with its score, findings and the evidence it collected.
The security score runs 0–100, higher is better. It is the plain average of the security checks that completed in this scan, each counted equally. A check that could not run is left out: it counts neither as a pass nor as a fail.

Findings that cap the score at 49
Each of these is serious on its own, so while any is present the site cannot rate better than high risk, however good the other checks are.
Partial scans
When the site blocks Guard or most checks cannot run, the score covers only the checks that ran (usually DNS and email), is capped at 75 and is shown as partial, without a risk level.

Business context, site observations and technical notes gathered during the scan, and the standards behind each reference.
Automated reading of the public site. Ratings are indicative.
Reference chips under each finding point to the standard, regulation or specification the finding relates to. They are taken from the official datasets below and mapped conservatively: a finding with no defensible link shows none. NIS2 and GDPR references mark where a finding is relevant evidence, not a compliance verdict. Implementing Regulation (EU) 2024/2690 binds digital infrastructure and digital service providers; for other entities it is the most detailed public reading of the Article 21 measures. WCAG, EN 301 549, European Accessibility Act and Web Accessibility Directive references name the requirement an automated accessibility rule relates to; they are not a conformance verdict.
